Ramen Noodles Cause Heart Disease, Stroke & Metabolic Syndrome

The study focused on individuals in South Korea, as the country has the highest per-capital number of instant noodle consumers in the world, and because, in recent years, health problems there, including heart disease and obesity, have been on the rise. But the findings appear to be quite relevant to consumers stateside too, as the United States ranked sixth globally in instant noodle sales, according to the World Instant Noodles Association, which found that the United States accounted for 4,300 billion units sold in 2013 (coming in just behind China, Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam, Philippines and India — and one spot above South Korea, in fact).

Coach Freddie Roach Fuels Claim Floyd Got Beat Up in Training

"He knocked out a couple of girls (in sparring) or something like (that). The thing is, I got a report from one of my friends in Mexico—that one of his Mexican boys beat the s--t out of him two days in a row. So I really don't care about stuff like that. I really don't care what he's up to, because I have to get my guy ready for my fight and that's what I'm thinking about."

Nintendo Details Its First Quality Of Life Device. Measures Sleep Quality

Earlier this year, Nintendo revealed its intention to focus on "quality of life" as its long term goal for the next 10 years. Today, the company finally revealed its first product of such.

In the company's second quarter fiscal briefing, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed a collaboration with U.S. firm ResMed, a global manufacturer of sleep disorder treatments, to create a device that should enhance the quality of its users' sleep.

The device is designed to monitor its user's sleep pattern when put beside the bed without having to wear any sensors or connect the device to the bed in any way. The data collected by the device is analyzed on Nintendo's QOL cloud in order to measure and visualize the user's fatigue.

"Since fatigue per se is not regarded as a disease in the medical world, it is said to be a field where sufficient research has yet to be conducted," said Iwata. "We have been fortunate to encounter several experts who have been conducting cutting-edge research in the science of fatigue. Together, we are now developing technology to estimate fatigue."

"Accurate and simplified fatigue measurements enable self-comprehension of the body which is very significant for contemporary humans, and I think it can be used as the benchmark to improve our QOL. We will all do our utmost to achieve this world-first product."
